Okay Karacan, who has been talking about Formula 1 broadcasts in our country for many years, brought up a topic that has been talked about in the backstage recently, in his Twitter post. According to Karacan, Hamilton will start at the very end of the grid.
According to Karacan, Hamilton will change the engine in this race. Due to the engine change, the British driver of the Mercedes AMG Petronas team will be relegated to the last row of the track. Last race, Max Verstappen and Valtteri Bottas had an engine change.
Engine change in Istanbul Park
Lewis Hamilton and Max Verstappen are in a very tight championship fight. Both pilots change the engines of their vehicles during the season. After these engine changes, the vehicles start the race from the back row of the grid.
According to Okay Karacan, Mercedes driver Hamilton will go for engine replacement in this race. Competing on the tracks where it had an advantage in the last few races of the season, Mercedes had therefore chosen to wait for the engine change. Mercedes, which wants to take advantage of a possible rain in Istanbul Park, can change Hamilton’s engine for this purpose.
On the other hand, there is no official information on the subject yet. The Mercedes team may be waiting to learn more about the rain situation during the race to make this decision. This situation is expected to be clarified until the qualifying rounds on Saturday.
He became champion in Istanbul
Lewis Hamilton won the race held at Istanbul Park last year and reached the championship. The British pilot also answered Turkey’s questions about his favorite track during the season. Having achieved great dominance in recent years, the pilot is also the last winner in Turkey.
This year, the Turkish Grand Prix will be held at Istanbul Park on September 8-9-10.
